What all does distelli do to make image builds fast? For example, where do you store cached layers so they are most rapidly pulled by the build worker?

You can use your own build servers with distelli and any images and layers pulled down during one build will be cached and available on subsequent builds. So even though distelli is a hosted service you don't have to run builds on our shared build machines. You can fire up your own build servers and connect them to our service and you'll get all the benefits of a dedicated build server including caching.

Gotcha. I am seeking a vendor that handles this for us somehow (even if that means we must pay for dedicated resources managed by the vendor). CircleCI has spoiled me so that I'll never maintain a Jenkins or other build server again if I can avoid it. CircleCI has hinted that their v2 (which is in alpha) will address layer caching.
